Fervens Drupal theme

Fervens Drupal theme

This theme was designed by Design Disease and brought to you by Smashing Magazine.

This theme features a 3 column layout that has a base idea of "freshness". Summer is my favorite time of year as it always amazes us with a rainbow of sensation and colors, making this time of year the best of all. The green of the plants and trees, the blue of the water….I love this time of year :)

Hello Larry,

I would appreciate that if you buy me a cup of coffee :)

But what do you mean by the shaded boxes and coloured boxes?

What you see on my demo site http://demo.kahthong.com/?theme=fervens is what you get from http://drupal.org/project/fervens (version 2.2)

Well the blocks automatically

Well the blocks automatically inherits the colours.

For example, the sidebar right's first block gets dark green, second block will be lighter green, and etc.

As for the sidebar left, only the first block gets black, and the rest will be light grey.

I hope I have cleared your doubts? :O

Website width

Wauw, first off all, this is a really nice theme. Simple and colourful makes it nice and fresh.

A question:
In the configuration you can choose between: Fixed width (940 pixels wide) or Liquid width (Maximum 1280 pixels wide.
In what, and where CSS file can i edit the width settings by custom?
Fixed, looks good, but makes my content layout a bit small. Liquid is also nice, but the wider the screen, the wider the left and right columns will get.

I want to experiment with some widths.

RTL support

Hi,

I've added an RTL language and all seems OK with the logo switching properly to the right (I added some code to the header template.php to do this). The RTL page direction is OK for text and H1 etc. However, I can't get the primary menus to start on the right.

I am also interested in switching the layout of the A, content, B etc to be RTL. Cany you help me with an easy way to do this? I see that the #primary is defined as float right but it's not getting picked up. For some reason I don't see that the -rtl style sheet is getting picked up or I could just redefine things there. Any ideas?

Thanks so much!

Hopefully this will be addressed as well :)

1st solution found

OK... silly me, have a bad case of pre-morning coffee stupids!

I added #primary { float: right; } to the style-rtl.css and all is great now!

Will attempt to adjust the other things also now! :)

hmm

Not sure, but fusion(drupal) uses 960px also.
Looks to me like its 940pixels with 10 pixel padding for each side so it comes to 940 but main element is 960px width, and that you made main element 940px if i am not mistaking so its than smaller :-)

Hello Chris,

Thanks fr using my theme!

The problem you had above is because the default blocks are automatically assigned to the first block region of Fervens. (The header)

All you need to do is goto "admin/build/blocks" and assign those blocks to either sidebar. That should solve your problem.

Great Theme

I was looking everywhere for another theme to use and I couldn;t find one better than this. :) My only concern is the green blocks on the right are quite big in width and I was wondering if there was a way to make them smaller and the body bigger.

Thanks for the great theme and any help. :)

Sure, edit style.css, look for #sidebar-right
From there you can edit the percentage of width it should occupy. Reduce it to your liking, but make sure to increase back on the #main part.

I also have the same question as SuperZambezi. I've looked through the style.css and there are numerous instances of #sidebar-right

body.fervens-b-sidebar-right #sidebar-left-and-right {

body.fervens-c-sidebar-right #sidebar-right {
float: right;
width: 25%;

If your sidebar isn't

If your sidebar isn't enabled, you should goto admin/build/blocks and place some blocks into the sidebar region.

Regarding the widths, depending on which Fervens type you're using (A, B, or C), you'll adjust the width accordingly. Example for Fervens C would be..

body.fervens-c-sidebar-left-and-right #main-and-sidebar-right {
  width: 85%;    /* 85 + 15 = 100% */
}
body.fervens-c-sidebar-left-and-right #main {
  width: 69.9%;    /* 69.9 + 30 = ~100% */
}
body.fervens-c-sidebar-left-and-right #sidebar-right {
  width: 30%;
}
body.fervens-c-sidebar-left-and-right #sidebar-left {
  width: 15%;
}
body.fervens-c-sidebar-left #main-and-sidebar-right {
  width: 85%;    /* 85 + 15 = 100% */
}
body.fervens-c-sidebar-left #sidebar-left {
  width: 15%;
}
body.fervens-c-sidebar-right #main {
  width: 74.9%;    /* 74.9 + 25 = ~100% */
}
body.fervens-c-sidebar-right #sidebar-right {
  width: 25%;
}

Place the above code into style-custom.css

Change the corresponding widths (see comments in CSS code above). Make sure they tally and equals ~100%.

The reason I use X.9% and not absolute value is for IE6 bug fix.

That is not theme related issue.
Just goto the admin/build/blocks (Site building > Blocks) and manage your blocks.
Drag and drop the blocks to your preferred region. Thats it.

What do you mean by Visual Editor? Are you using CKEditor or TinyMCE?

There were no updates on Fervens, it is very unlikely it would cause your site to break.

Can you send me the link to your site so I can inspect?
